I love making this colorful, salad when the weather warms, it makes
enough to feed a crowd and makes a great side dish or appetizer if
served with chips. It’s also great as a topping for taco salads or
served with grilled meat and fresh tortillas.
And
BONUS, this salad is low in saturated fat and loaded with antioxidants. A
perfect summer side dish for grilled meat, fish or chicken. It’s best
when you use sweet fresh roasted corn, but if corn is not in season,
frozen, thawed corn will work just fine in it’s place.
